The ALGOMA ANGLICAN does not wish to dwell on biographical material or laudatory comments about His Grace's many years of service in the Diocese of Algoma and beyond. After all, he still has nine months to serve! However, this early resignation does provide the Diocese of Algoma with a two-fold opportunity. First, it will have to prepare for an Electoral Synod (presum~ ably next fall) to elect a new bishop; the Diocese of Algoma needs this preparation since it has not par­ ticipated in such an election for thirty years. , Second, the Diocese of Algoma will have an oppor­ tunity to honour and pay tribute to "William L. Algoma" during the next nine months as His Grace will be paying his last official. episcopal visits to many points throughout the Diocese. With this in mind, the ALGOMA ANGLICAN will be preparing to highlight the features of His Grace's epis­ copacy, both through an album of photos from the Courtesy of the Rev. R.

"Women should have demanded ordination so it can be tested", Chancellor Lawson suggested, since the present situation is "dis_ criminatory and against the Billol Rights". The Chan­ cellor expressed disappoint­ ment in the phraseology, however. The Rev. D. A. P. Smith told Synod that he could find no theological reason why women should not be ordain­ ed, "and J'm still looking", adding that we are not deal­ ing with the capability of women, but the function of women.
